COVID-19 Vaccines and Myocarditis |
Summary
Since April 2021, increased cases of myocarditis and pericarditis have been reported in the United States after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna), particularly in adolescents and young adults. There has not been a similar reporting pattern observed after receipt of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its partners are investigating these rare reports of myocarditis and pericarditis following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. At this time a causal link between vaccination and myocarditis/pericarditis has not been established.
The Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) and CDC continue to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for everyone 12 years and older given the risk of COVID-19 illness and related, possibly severe complications, such as long-term health problems, hospitalization, and even death.
